Growing pains amid rains

Come monsoon and Goa gets roads full of water logging and makes movement of vehicles a great hardship. Two days rain has put life under threat all over goa.

Though we can not stop nature from its act we can always prevent accidents by taking precautions and building proper nullah and gutters for water flow and thus preventing water logging which makes traffic flow hard to get the way.
